DPA Advanced Procurement Act of 2026

This bill requires the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study how federal agencies buy and stockpile "long-lead items" under the Defense Production Act of 1950. Long-lead items are parts of a system or equipment that take the longest time to design and build. The GAO must send the study to the House Financial Services Committee and the Senate Banking Committee within one year. The study must look at current practices, identify ways agencies can work together, and suggest changes to the law. The bill also fixes the placement of a quotation mark in the Defense Production Act's short title.
